About Earth Lady's Apothecary
In 2015 I started making lip balms for fun, and in recent years I have expanded my recipe collection to include various infused oils, salves, creams, toners, serums and other items like diaper rash sprays, and herbal bath sachets. All of which you can find here in my shop.
I started gardening herbs and veggies in 2018-2019 and have helped in other peoples’ gardens longer than that. My mom had a small garden in our backyard growing up where she grew carrots, broccoli, peas and beans. I love going out and eating the fresh produce right out of the garden and herbs piqued my interest when my mom gave me a potted Lavender plant as a gift for my birthday one year. My favorite herbs to use now are Calendula, Rose, Lavender, Dandelion, and Helichrysum.
I started making products for myself because I have very sensitive skin and most store bought products, especially ones with fragrance, make me break out in a rash or burn my skin. My hope is that my products can help other people with sensitive skin, and everyone else too. No Bullshit.
As I continue to grow my knowledge and love for herbs and herbal products, I want to be able to continue to share with others, so I created Earth Lady’s Apothecary to do just that.
About Earth Lady & Baby
Mission: The mission of Earth Lady and Baby is to give birthing people and their family units the support and knowledge they need, to have a positive and fulfilling pregnancy and birth, in a judgment free and safe space.
My name is Lalana Apple and I am a Childbirth Educator. I have a background in Early Childhood Education & development, specifically infant care. When I worked at a childcare center, I completed every early childhood education training available to me. I am deeply passionate about birth work and helping everyone involved in the birthing process to feel empowered to take charge of their health care, have the knowledge to make evidence-based decisions about their birth and to support them throughout their journey.
I have two babies of my own (now toddlers)! I enjoy going on walks with my husband, babies and two small dogs. I sew, craft, bake/cook a LOT (I have now written two cookbooks) and make herbal skincare products. I am always looking for ways to improve my lifestyle to reduce toxins and to have more of an eco-friendly footprint. I love to read, watch movies and listen to music (particularly 80’s music).
